This paper proposes a solution utilizing Convolutional Restricted Boltzmann Machine (CRBM) for video analysis, integrating the strengths of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM). By focusing on image patches rather than entire frames, the method addresses the challenge of object detection in crowded scenes. The CRBM combines deep-level image analysis from CNN with unsupervised feature extraction in RBM, facilitated by image convolution using Gabor filters in the hidden layer. Dropout regularization mitigates overfitting, enhancing model generality. Extracted features are inputted into an SVM classifier for face detection and a custom VGG16 model for emotion identification. Event probability is then determined through logistic regression based on facial expressions. Despite existing approaches for smart crowd behaviour identification, there remains a tradeoff between accuracy and processing time. Our proposed solution addresses this by employing proper frame preprocessing techniques for feature extraction. Validation using quantitative and qualitative metrics confirms the effectiveness of the approach.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101205,"journal":{"name":"Systems and Soft Computing","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 200104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772941924000334/pdfft?md5=7bfe763c33c9f2d88e0899fdc4587f3d&pid=1-s2.0-S2772941924000334-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141292149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, precise positioning is challenging due to the use of inertial measurement units in low-cost smartphones and the complex motion states of pedestrians. To navigate and locate pedestrians in complex motion states, a method for converting between smartphone coordinate systems and navigation coordinate systems was studied and designed, and the errors of the built-in sensors of smartphones were analyzed and calibrated. In addition, support vector machines were used to optimize pedestrian trajectory prediction algorithms, and a pedestrian motion state recognition algorithm was designed based on this. To solve the classification problem of multiple human motion states, a multi classification model was constructed and adjacent gait correlation constraints were introduced to correct the classification results. Experiments indicated that the sum of squared errors for traditional algorithms estimating pedestrian trajectories was 0.92, whereas the optimized algorithms produced an improved sum of squared errors of 0.26. Consequently, the average sum of squared errors was reduced by 71.74 %, and the convergence speed increased by 55.56 %. The pedestrian trajectory prediction algorithm optimized by support vector machine could significantly lift the positioning and navigation efficiency, with a correct recognition rate of over 93 % and a position recognition accuracy of 78.8 % - 88.4 %.

In recent time, deep learning techniques are being used for fingerprint recognition with more accuracy and efficient results. Major difficulty which has been reported in previous researches, is the limited size of samples. Therefore, we propose two approaches, inversion and multi augmentation to augment the sample size with newly generated images for each feature map. Besides this, multiple networks are used simultaneously for feature extraction from newly generated images in parallel mode. Deep neural network architectures are used with proposed inversion methods and multi augmentation methods to classify the samples of fingerprints for personnel identification and verification. Pre-trained deep convolutional models like VGG16, VGG19, ResNet50 and InceptionV3 are fine-tuned with new processed fingerprint images for feature extraction and classification. The collective samples of fingerprints have been classified into 10 classes. The simulation results have been obtained with different optimizers and it has been observed that VGG 19 model exhibits the accuracies of 88 % and 93 % with inversion and multi augmentation approaches respectively. Whereas, VGG16 model exhibits 93 % with inversion approach and 97 % with multi augmentation approach.

In order to improve the generalization ability of financial management models, pruning methods were adopted in the study to avoid overfitting. Synthetic minority oversampling technique is used to optimize the financial management model and reduce the calculation deviation of the model through its sampling ability.
